Its really weird and there's obviously more to it than mets the eye. I always go through the Clean boot up, restart if server restarts, Alt+Tab out/in etc,. almost as a superstitious mantra now but who knows?

The other BIG variable I didn't mention was individual settings both in-game and in your GPU manager where game profiles are stored and what else may be running in background. Maybe some guys might want to look into the current version of FS Autostart or Alacrity to kill off unwanted processes.

But I'm sure now there's more to it than that.

well we understood we would use the jg 27 one, and all of a sudden on the first night it changes to another ts3 server???

edit: SYN have a ts3 server, we could use that one

Ah, but we (the Spits) were told to intercept BFs by climbing to 4/5000m altitude whilst heading for the French coast and try to catch them climbing. In all fairness the rush to get airborne became a misplaced priority and lack of experience in these sort of organised encounters took its toll.

I made an error but you learn from these mistakes and make sure you don't repeat them. By the time I did get airborne having waited patiently behind the Hurris our mission objective was pretty well scupperred.

I would have thought that having fighter groups spread over more airfileds would allow them to get airborne and form up quicker. They could also form a 'big wing' if necessary far quicker.

As I said, this was my first experience and OK, only 1.4 kills but I would certainly like to join up with a Spit squadron and hone my group co-operation skills - flying solo is one thing but flying as part of a much bigger plan is wholly different. I will definitely be logging into next weeks match for sure and look forward to being part of Gromics group.

I'm with Klem on this. We only gathered on ATAG because it just happened that way. Like I said, I'm not into politics, too much 'clan fighting' goes on - I've witnessed far too much from the USL and it's always the other clans fault.

Might I suggest that we do start using JG27 server and bloody well get on with it....

As for Luftwaffe comms, it's well known that it was badly organised, lots of opposition from senior people saying that RT wasn't required and different sets between groups. The RAF had different channels for different jobs but could communicate with each other on the RT

It's not my business but please, let this first campaign not increase hostilities between units. That would be a very bad start for online competent campaigns in this already trouble filled game. You're more then welcome on 5./JG27 TS3. But it would be even better if you agree to join each other up on a different voice com server, because our server is getting stressed a lot I reckon.

[Osprey]

I'd be delighted if that happened. Unfortunately, for now, our own TS3 only has 25 slots so it's not up to it. Any advance on that? Klem, what do No.56 have?

Just noticed the above in your post, that instruction was not given - I certainly wasn't aware of it, in fact I lined up behind Hurris and Spits facing West to East with Hangars on port side, hence the problem of TO in wrong direction. Apolgies for that but will hold and check in future.

Coordination between squadrons, at least on the blue side, historically was just done with pre-flight planning, each squadron was given their radio frequency, and not the other. Although I'm certain that some sort of common freq was available, there's many stories of squads jumping each other with no way to call the other one off. Not sure how it was done in the RAF.

I think maybe it's time to relocate that teamspeak server

Yup, it was given via whisper to your flight lead so I guess it never go relayed on. It's ok, just means we'll get No.64 leading the Spits for next time

Just let us know. It's a shame one team is trying to stir up drama over something as simple as teamspeak. Ours is setup for an unlimited amount of clients and has more bandwidth than could ever possibly used.

The whole reason everyone gathered on ours is because many players not in squads were picked up there as quite a few players get on for the MP server.

I'm not gonna let someone holding a grudge ruin this for everyone. I'll join any teamspeak server, but it was clear yesterday that you guys will need a different setup/license to host that many clients without issue. Ours is a good choice simply because it's already setup for it. Again we'll follow suit to wherever. I just hope some people can swallow their pride a bit. Bickering over this is ridiculous.
